Choosing 1999 Toyota Tacoma Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Tacoma tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Tacoma tires online.

1999 Toyota Tacoma Tire Q&A

  • Why does Toyota tire inflation matter? A small decrease in tire pressure can have a big impact on your driving. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help improve braking time, increase fuel economy, and boost tire lifespan.
  • What do the numbers on my Toyota Tacoma tires mean? Your tire sidewall gives you information about load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to one of our tire technicians to learn how to read the numbers on your tire!
  • Is there an easy way to check Toyota tire tread depth? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Tacoma tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Tacoma tires.

Certain factors, like driving on highways mostly and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan.
  • Can brake fluid leak when my Tacoma is off? Your Tacoma brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

  • How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Tacoma?

When you bring in your 1999 Toyota Tacoma, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Toyota’s recommended measurements.

Questions About Toyota Tacoma Alignment

  • How can I avoid knocking my Toyota Tacoma out of alignment? Hitting a pothole or curb can alter your wheel alignment. So can general wear and tear over time.
  • How often does your Tacoma need a wheel alignment? Generally, it’s wise to have your alignment looked at around every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever happens first. You should check your Tacoma owner’s manual to verify Toyota’s suggested interval.
  • Do you need to get your Tacoma wheels aligned when you get new tires?  You likely aren't required to get an alignment when you put new tires on your Tacoma, but it's a super smart idea!

Questions About 1999 Toyota Tacoma Engines

  • Why does my Tacoma’s check engine light come on when I start it? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Tacoma firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Toyota engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota Tacoma. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Toyota Tacoma engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine.

1999 Toyota Tacoma Tire Repair

If the road has been rough on your 1999 Toyota Tacoma tires, Firestone Complete Auto Care can help. There’s a chance your tire could be plugged and patched (rather than replaced).

Frequently Asked Toyota Tacoma Tire Repair Questions

  • Can I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? A flat tire that’s not addressed can take a terrible toll on the rest of your car. Until you have it repaired or replaced, drive your Tacoma as little as possible to reduce your risk of damage to the wheels and alignment – or further damage to that already struggling tire!
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.
  • Why do the tires on my Tacoma keep losing air? Tire punctures, damaged wheels, and leaking valve stems are possible reasons for your Tacoma tires continuously losing air.

Answers to Your Toyota Tacoma Car Battery Questions

Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Tacoma’s battery post?  A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Tacoma car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.

1999 Toyota Tacoma Oil Change Service

Toyota recommends having your 1999 Toyota Tacoma’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Your Tacoma may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1999 Toyota Tacoma motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Talk with a teammate and consult your owner's manual before picking a motor oil.

1999 Toyota Tacoma Oil Change Questions

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Tacoma to illuminate?  Your Toyota Tacoma oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • How hard is it to change Toyota Tacoma oil at home?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Tacoma spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 1999 Toyota Tacoma

Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Tacoma. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Tacoma engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Tacoma. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system. During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your Tacoma’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Tacoma can determine what kind of service it needs. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

*Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate for full terms and conditions on warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 1999 Toyota Tacoma

  • What happens if my Toyota Tacoma spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Tacoma? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • How often should I clean my Toyota Tacoma fuel injectors? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Toyota owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

1999 Toyota Tacoma Suspension Service & Repair

When you first drove your 1999 Toyota Tacoma, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Tacoma jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Toyota Tacoma, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Tacoma suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

1999 Toyota Tacoma Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Toyota Tacoma to have a bouncy ride?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Tacoma goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Tacoma to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

1999 Toyota Tacoma A/C Service Near You

Our technicians will work to solve your 1999 Toyota Tacoma A/C problems to the best of their ability. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1999 Toyota Tacoma A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

While your 1999 Toyota Tacoma’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Toyota’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

1999 Toyota Tacoma A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my Tacoma A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Tacoma’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • What is causing my Tacoma’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  Damaged or worn components in your Tacoma’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

1999 Toyota Tacoma Transmission Service & Repairs

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire.

Questions About 1999 Toyota Tacoma’s Transmission

  • Does my Tacoma's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Maintaining your Toyota Tacoma transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Toyota Tacoma leak transmission fluid?  Yes. Toyota Tacoma transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Should I avoid driving my Toyota Tacoma if there is a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Tacoma with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
